rize it up
Well I pulled the trigger on a rize 8" lift today.
I'm going to be ordering bilsteins with it to bump it up to 10". Going to have 37" toyo mts with 20x10 xd monsters in black. Also got 4.88 yukon gears to throw in. Lift should be in 2-3 weeks so whenever I get everything on I'll post pics here.

I'm assuming you have a 4x4 so your gonna have to do the fronts and rears?

You might look at 4.56's too, I traded my 4.88's for 4.56's after learning I had to rebuild my axles and so far like them much better than the 4.88's.
I also wouldn't ever plan on seeing that rize pre-runner kit... pretty certain after you bought the truck, fenders, and their likely 'over-priced, new to the market' long travel kit you could have come out ahead just buying a raptor. The only difference might be the rear shock setup since i bet rize has a cage/shocks thru the bed, more long travel type rear suspension setup and the raptor keeps it more of an OEM rear suspension setup.
Just get ready for the repairs down the road, I expected them but never like this. Part of this can be blamed on poor installations, but a lot of the replaced parts I have seen are severely worn out like the wheel bearings, etc.. In the last week I have had to completely rebuild the axles and now the transmission and transfer case plus a new torque converter. All new wheel bearings, CV axles, IWE's, control arm bushings, bla, bla, bla... right now I hate my truck

I would have never just swapped for the hell of it, but in my case I had to get new R&P so I decided to give it a go.
Yeah 'Ive been reading your threads about all your problems, I figure though this will only be my daily driver for a couple years until I finish school then I can retire it and get something new and by then it will be paid off.
